The Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal (DRLJ) is one of Pepperdine Caruso School of Law’s specialized law journals, associated with the top-ranked and internationally recognized Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution. DRLJ collects, edits, and publishes cutting-edge legal research on matters of alternative dispute resolution (ADR).
Whether domestic or international, practical or theoretical, involving negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or other forms of ADR, in a world with no shortage of conflict, there is a corresponding bounty of scholarship we strive to share with the community.
DRLJ invites submissions of articles, case comments, legislative comments, and book reviews that promote meaningful discourse on contemporary legal issues surrounding ADR from legal scholars, practitioners, academics, and students.
